The Paucity of pre-20th Century American Authors by
Francis A. Miniter

Publisher Pocket Guide? by
rperrilleon
Can anyone recommend a portable guide, similar to the McBride booklets,
that list authors with the publisher of the first trade edition of
their works? As far as I can tell, McBride won't tell me if a book is

Doubleday Doran query.... by
Jonathan Brodie
The RCB archive tells me that this question was asked a few years ago
but was not answered. I'll try again. Perhaps a Doubleday Doran
scholar has joined the group in the meantime.
What does 'CL' mean on the copyright page?
Thanks as always...
